at the end anteriorly a finely serrate lamella. Eight last leg terminating in a 

 pair of obtuse scissors formed by the last 2 joints. 



Colour. Body in both sexes highly pellucid and almost colourless. 



Length of adult female 3.20 mm., of male about the same. 



l\ciiHir~k$. This form was briefly mentioned by Boeck in the above-mentioned 

 journal; but no figures or detailed description have as yet been given, for which 

 reason it is placed by Dr. Giesbrecht, in his recent synopsis, among the doubtful 

 species of the genus. Boeck considers it to be most nearly allied to C. hixjiinosa 

 of Clans, probably on account of the similar armature of the genital segment in 

 the female. It is evidently much more closely related, however, to another species 

 described by the same author, viz., C. longima.na, though it also differs from this 

 species in some characters, e. g. in the total absence of eye, the much more 

 elongated anterior antenna?, and the somewhat different structure of the last pair 

 of legs, especially in the female. 



Occurrence. Boeck first recorded this form from the Hardanger Fjord. 

 I have myself found it occasionally in the following localities: at Hank0, lower 

 part of the Christiania Fjord, at Jels0, upper part of the Stavanger Fjord, at 

 Kalvaag, west coast of Norway, and at Skraaven, Lofoten Islands, in all these 

 places only from depths of more than 150 fathoms. The same form has also 

 been fourjd by Mr. Nordgaard in the neighbourhood of Bergen, and a male spe- 

 cimen was sent to me by Prof. Cleve, who found it in a plankton-sample taken 

 from great depth in the Skagerak. This species has not yet been recorded, 

 however, elsewhere than from the Norwegian Sea

Specific Character*. Female. Body much more robust than in the pre- 

 ceding species, with the anterior division considerably vaulted above, and, seen 

 dorsally, oval fusiform in shape, greatest width nearly attaining half the length 

 and occurring in the middle, anterior extremity abruptly contracted and trans- 

 versely truncated at the tip, posterior slightly attenuated. Last segment of meta- 

 some deeply emarginated in the middle, lateral corners produced to acute posteri- 

 orly-pointing projections reaching beyond the middle of the genital segment.
